Remember how stunning Kim Kardashian looked in Selena’s iconic purple jumpsuit? Well, apparently the outfit was more than a costume, and even if Halloween is over, Kim is not ready to throw her outfit back in the closet just yet.
The reality TV star posted a promotional video of her KKW app showing just how much professional work was needed for her to transform into the late Tejano queen. Watch the video below!
“I am so excited for Selena. I love her whole story. I love the movie, Selena,” started saying Kardashian as a group of professional makeup artist and stylists worked on her look in a time-lapse sequence. “And I think dressing up for Halloween is just fun if you can dress up like people you admire.”
There is no denying that the jumpsuit really made the 37-year-old influencer look almost exactly like the “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” sensation. In the behind-the-scenes video for her app, we can see her glam squad put to work to reveal the spectacular Halloween costume that garnered so much media attention.

“This Halloween, there was so much going on behind the scenes! All of my costumes were really different, so getting into character for each was such a unique process,” Kim wrote on her website. “I loved the purple jumpsuit (custom-made by Kimi Kouture) for my Selena look. Ariel Tejada and Chris Appleton perfectly re-created Selena’s original glam and hair.”
“I was so excited for my Selena look,” wrote Mrs. Kanye West. “I’m obsessed with making sure every little detail – from the glam to the nails – is as close to the original as possible!”
In a Hollywood Life exclusive interview with Selena’s sister, Suzette Quintanilla, the drummer for Selena’s band Los Dinos, she revealed how much she liked Kardashian’s homage. “Her whole vibe was really Latina and I liked that.”

Suzette also defended Kardashian from all the naysayers that claim that she is only jumping on a bandwagon. “A lot of people don’t know this, but I know that with the Kardashians, it’s not some fad type of thing.
“I know they’ve been fans of Selena and our music from way back because I’m good friends with Adrienne Bailon, who used to be in The Cheetah Girls and she used to date Rob Kardashian years ago so when she was on tour, she would put him on the phone.”
